Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told MSNBC today that Democrats are to blame for the affordability crisis that punctuated last week’s elections.
Said Bessent: “We inherited a mess.”
He noted the Trump administration is working to bring prices down and boost working-class wages: “That’s when Americans are going to be feeling good again, and that’s what next November’s election’s going to be fought on.”
